Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Did you ever wonder why large numbers of Americans don't risk their lives crossing the Florida Straits to get into Cuba? None of us could understand the fear and oppression of Castro's communist regime like those who have lived under it, but this book gives insight into the repressive nature of a secular regime and the spiritual strength that overcame it.
Castro Is A Monster
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I read this book years ago and now I am writing this because I have come across another book, Tortured for Christ, that I will be picking up. A few years before that was published, however, this one was. Let me tell you, after reading this gripping, sad and eventually triumphant (how else would he have been able to get this in print?) story, I never, never again had any shred of respect for Castro. I probably didn't anyway, but ignorance doesn't excuse it. After reading this, I have never trusted anything I have heard or read about that man or his regime if it purports to be something "good" about communist Cuba. Not the people, the regime. This story is one that needs to be read and shared, especially now as we seem to moving toward "de-thawing" the relationship with this thug. I don't pretend to know much more than what I have read and seen. I'm not of Cuban descent. For what people may think of this dictatorship, this book brings out some sad accuracy.
Must Read lesson in Faith and Courage
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This short book contains the story of Humberto Alexander's 22 years in Castro's prisons. It is a story of courage and faith under the ugliest of conditions. Alexander was shot, tortured repeatedly, starved, and treated in the most unspeakably inhuman ways, yet through it all his faith in Christ allows him and his fellow prisoners to survive and even to love those who were torturing them. You will not regret reading this book!
